She’s also completely unpredictable because she has the mentality of a child, but also the maturity of an adult. Yet, we still relate to her because we all know what it’s like to come to a new place. She’s just trying to fit in. She also completely wins us over by how she overcomes challenges and disagreements just by being optimistic and hardworking. We admire how she’s not wallowing in self-pity for losing fifthteen years of her life. Kimmy Schmidt’s inspiring.
I feel long form television has created a kind of replacement for cable TV. People don’t need to flip through channels to find something that they like. That gives shows a kind of freedom because they’re not held to the station requirements. Then, you get shows like Kimmy Schmidt that are a little different. They don’t have a laugh track. They can branch out and have characters that aren’t the cookie cutter expected attractive. They don’t have to worry about target audiences. The show will find its own niche.
This means that cable TV has tougher competition. They can no longer rely on the person fermenting on their couch to watch their shows. Netflix offers such a huge variety of shows instantly for a cheap price. I hope that movies up their game too because of Netflix. Studios with investors can’t rely on product films while independent filmmakers with original ideas find funding with Netflix. Even Youtube is launching Youtube Red to create its own original shows. The popular forms of media are changing.
